Automation deburring solutions: No solutions without problem - but no problems without solution
The goal of our customer was to deburr with our ESK 350 X3, a 1,6 kg compensating spindle directly after machining in a CNC machine.
ATC: worked
Waypoints: adjusted
Feeding: perfect
It was a smooth, nice working day.
And then there was the programm line
"G97 S10000 M03"
Result:
Broken machine rear housing, total damage of ESR 350 X3, no personal injury.
Conclusions:
A)???? Safety: Take your time, doublecheck your programs.
Do not press yourself for time.
B)???? Material: Our flexible ESR 350 X3 can rotate a carbide burr with 35000 rpm. The ESR 350 X3 can not be rotated with 10000 rpm.
Although logical, finally tested and confirmed now.
C) Season: Santa Claus already hands over little Christmas presents to CNC operators.
